Awkward! Moments don’t come worse than asking Craig David to help you impress a girl - who’s forgotten who you are.

Rapper Craig David was on hand to form the best wingman team since Iceman and Maverick as he rescued CaptalFM’s Rob Howard’s failed attempt to secure a date, but what he wasn’t expecting was her to completely forget who he was.

The star appeared on the Rob and Katy Breakfast Show and was faced with the tricky situation of setting up host Rob with a girl who dealt him the ‘double blue ticks of rejection’ after failing to reply to him over WhatsApp.

After realising his attempts of showering her with free champagne in a VIP lounge on a night out failed to land him a date, he resorted to the smooth tones of the one and only, Craig David.

The star called the girl, Becky, live on the show which was captured on the studio’s cameras.

A disbelieved Becky took a while to come to terms with the fact it was the 35-year-old singer-songwriter calling to find out why she stopped talking to Rob and to see if he could set the two up on a date.

Awkwardly, she couldn't remember who a very quiet and suddenly embarrassed Rob was.

Luckily, Craig encouraged him to pluck up his courage and say hello, but even then, it didn’t seem to promising for the host.

After remembering his generous acts at the nightclub, Craig managed to set the two up with Becky agreeing to go on a date with Rob this weekend, saying, “How can I say no when Craig David has called me?”.

However, the date was almost tarnished by Rob’s bad joke in reference to one of Craig’s hit songs, ‘Seven Days’, let’s hope he keeps the cheese to a minimum whilst wining and dining her later on this week.
